Physicochemical properties of Rubus coreanus Miquel were examined. Unripened fruit, ripened fruit and leaf of Rubus coreanus Miquel were used as samples. The contents of water, crude protein, crude fat, crude fiber, dietary fiber, and crude ash were studied. The pH, soluble solid content, acidity and color were also measured. In terms of free sugar composition, concentration of glucose and fructose found in unripened fruit had increased in ripened fruit and sucrose was contained in ripened fruit. The major free sugars of leaf were glucose, fructose and sucrose. Citric acid, succinic acid and fumaric acid were found in all three sample groups, unripened fruit, ripened fruit and leaf. The citric acid showed the highest concentration in the unripened fruit as the concentration of 1.21%. Fifteen types of amino acids were analysed from the unripened and ripened fruit of Rubus coreanus Miquel. The leaf contained methionine in addition to those fifteen type amino acids in fruits. The glutamic acid contents of unripened fruit, ripened fruit and leaf were 411, 246.59 and 898.42 mg%, respectively. Among the minerals studied in this research Rubus coreanus Miquel held high level of potassium. The potassium concentrations of unripened fruit, ripened fruit and leaf were 645.07, 216.53 and 815.78 mg%, respectively.

Optimum processing conditions for vinegar fermentation using fig, pear and persimmon were determined. Alcohol contents in the fermentatio broth of crushed fruits of fig, pear and persimmon were 7.5%, 5.1% and 6.8%, respectively. Alcohol contents increased up to 14.3~15.1% by adding 24% of sugar to the fruit juices. The total acidity of 7.04%, 3.30% and 3.66% were obtained for fig, pear and persimmon, respectively, through acetic acid fermentation of fruit juices containing 8% ethanol. Acetic acid yield increased by shaking during fermentation for pear and persimmon broth. Acetic acid yield increased 1.80~1.92 times by adding 0.5% of yeast extract to the fermentation broth of pear and persimmon. After fermentation, each fruit vinegar was clarified up to 93.1~97.4 of light transmittance by using 0.6% of kaki shibu for 4 days at 1$0^{\circ}C$. After aging for 60 days at 1$0^{\circ}C$, the acidity of fruit vinegar decreased slightly. Tannin content of persimmon vineger was remarkably higher than the other, while light absorbance of pear vinegar was higher than the other vinegars. Acetic acid was identified as the main volatile organic acid in the fruit vinegars, while propionic, isobutyric and isovaleric acids were identified as the minors. The content of non-volatile organic acids in the pear vinegar was higher than that in the persimmon vinegar. Sensory evaluation results indicate that the fig vinegar was preferred to the pear vinegar in the aspects of color, flavor and overall acceptability, but the fig vinegar had a strong background taste. Sensory scores of the persimmon vinegar increased significantly by pasteurization, but those of the fig and pear vinegars did not by pasteurization.

This study aimed to enhance the quality and sensory acceptability of dak-galbi sauce made from general tomatoes, plum tomatoes and canned tomatoes and find the most preferred quality characteristics and tomato type for the production of dak-galbi sauce. Dak-galbi sauce was blended with different concentrations of tomatoes (0%, 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%). As the amount of a tomato addition increased, the moisture contents, L-values, a-values and B-values significantly(p<0.001) increased while salinity, sugar contents and viscosity decreased. The attribute difference test showed that significant differences in such properties as color intensity, pungent flavor, pungent taste, mouthfeel were observed with more tomatoes added. Based on the results of this study, the optimal tomato content for maximizing the overall quality of dak-galbi sauce was 10~20% of general tomatoes or 20% of plum and canned tomatoes. More various kinds of dak-galbi sauce are expected to be developed through this study.

This study aims to make stock using cod bones with the hot water extraction method. Moisture content, chromaticity, pH, salinity, sugar content, mineral contents, quantitative analysis, and overall acceptance were studied to determine the standard formula. The results are as follows. The moisture content decreased (p < 0.001) and color value increased as heating time increased. The pH was highest in CS5 which was heated for 30 minutes and lowest in CS1. The salinity and sugar content significantly increased with more heating time (p < 0.001). In terms of mineral contents, sodium was highest in 138.87~154.17 mg, magnesium and iron showed proportion difference with increased heating time. The mineral analysis test result revealed that sodium, magnesium and iron showed proportional difference with increased heating time, while potassium and calcium did not change. The result of quantitative analysis test showed transparency, fishy smell, delicate flavor, savory flavor, salt taste and umami taste became stronger as high-pressure heating time increased. From these result, CS4 was evaluated to be the best in appearance, flavor, taste, aftertest and overall acceptance. Also, 60 minute high-pressure heating time is the most desirable to produce stock using cod bones as a main ingredient.

The study was conducted to compare quality characteristics and antioxidant activities of aged black chestnut inner shells (ACI) and raw chestnut inner shells (RCI). RCI were aged for 15 days at high humidity and temperature. As storage time progressed, the pH level decreased while acidity increased. The sugar concentration ($^{\circ}Brix$) and reducing sugar concentration (%) increased during storage, whereas L (lightness) decreased. Compared with RCI, L value of ACI was darker than that of RCI after 9 days of storage. In the Hunter color system, L and a (redness) values of ACI were higher than those of RCI, whereas there was no visible difference in degree of aging. Although total phenol contents increased with degree of aging, phenol contents of ACI increased more than those of RCI after 9 days of aging. $IC_{50}$ values for 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl and hydroxyl radical scavenging activities decreased with degree of aging. Based on these results, it is suggested that aged black chestnut inner shells were appropriate in terms of both physicochemical and antioxidative activities.

Sweet potato-malt worts were prepared by using sweet potato paste of Shinyulmi and Shinjami as the main adjunct, enzymes, malt, hop, and water. We brewed low-malt beers of the lager- or ale-type by using these worts and inoculating bottom and top fermenting yeast, respectively. Moreover, the componential and functional characteristics of the resulting beers were evaluated. During saccharification of sweet potato, the addition of an enzyme agent containing ${\alpha}-amylase$ caused an improvement in filterability and an increase of total sugar. The sugar content of sweet potato-malt wort which was prepared by the addition of 0.1% enzyme agent containing ${\alpha}-amylase$ and a three-step infusion procedure was $13.5^{\circ}Brix$ adequate for beer brewing. The polyphenol and anthocyanin contents of Shinjami beer were increased with increasing content of the paste, and also increased DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging activities. But in Shinyulmi beer it were decreased. A strong correlation was obserbed between antioxidave activities and polyphenol and anthocyanin contents of sweet potato beers. In all lager- and ale-type low-malt beers using 41.6% of Shinjami pastes, sensory attributes very similar to those of 100% malt beer were obtained and they were very good as they had unique red color.

This study was conducted to increase the functionality of Korean traditional beverage, Sikhye. The Sikhye were prepared by supplementation up to 20% of Seomaeyaksuk extract (SE) and saccharification for five hours (h). During the saccharification, turbidity of SE-added Sikhye (SES) was the highest at two hours of saccharification and then lowered gradually. L vlaue of SES did not show significant difference feduring saccharification, and both a and b value of Sikhye were increased as saccharification time passed and SE addition ratio was increased. The pH before saccharification was not significantly different by SE addition ratio but it was increased to 5.68-5.73 at 5 h saccharification. Soluble solid, total sugar and reducing sugar contents were enhanced as saccharification time and SE addition ratio were increased. The total phenolic compounds contents and DPPH radical scavenging activity showed a similar trend by saccharification time and SE addition. In sensory test, the evaluations of 5% SES and control were not significant different, but 20% SES group showed significant lower evaluation than other groups because strong color and mugwort flavor. From all of these results, physicochemical characteristics and antioxidant activity of SES was improved by SE addition but sensory characteristics was lower. Acceptable addition ratio of SE in Sikhye is determined to be within 15%.

The effects of the ratio of 45% alcohol and Maesil(Prumus mume) (1:1, 1:2, 1:3, w/v) on quality changes of Maesil liqueur during leaching and ripening for 5 months were examined. Total acidity increased with an increase ratio of Maesil and leaching and ripening periods. The pH increased as increase ratio of alcohol. The color of liqueur became dark as an increase ratio of Maesil and leaching and ripening periods. The contents of alcohol after leaching and ripening for 2 months were 24.3%(1:1), 32.2%(1:2), and 36.0%(1:3), respectively and decreased as an increase the ratio of Maesil. The contents of reducing sugar and polyphenol in the liqueur increased with an increase ratio of Maesil and leaching and ripening periods. The major components of free sugar in the liqueur were fructose, glucose, sucrose and maltose but sucrose and maltose did not detect regardless the ratio of Maesil after leaching and ripening for 2 months. The major components of organic acid in the liqueur were citric, lactic, malic, and acetic acids. The total amount of organic acid increased as an increase the ratio of Maesil but the changes of individual organic acid in the liqueur contained different ratio of Maesil showed the different tendency each other.
